I really wish I had some VR gear, as I think this would be awesome if played with a headset! Still fun playing with a mouse, but I can really see the potential of it in VR :-)

Suggestion: could do with a time limit - eg see how many items you can swat in a minute - and perhaps make the score for an item depend on how long it takes to swat it (kind of like one of those reaction test games). Love the idea, though - nice work :-)

I've never seen anything quite like this before, I absolutely loved it! I had some trouble with being able to swat at the things coming into the box, but that's probably my lack of hand eye coordination than anything else. I really liked the sound effects and the fact that you had an option to tone down the mouse sensitivity.

Oh this is just so cute. :smile_cat: I actually had to turn the mouse sensitivity way up, and even then it was a bit slow. Even with desktop computer speakers the spacial audio worked fairly well. I can't imagine the neck strain I would get playing this for real!

I really would have wanted to truly play this, but the mouse sensitivity in the original setting was ridiculously sluggish and made me not feel like a cat at all and there must have been a bug with the cursor visibility toggling because I could only see the cursor as a black square when _not_ in the mode to set sensitivity. I like the idea though. But I didn't get the chance to swat a single item. One feature that would be cool would be if time slowed down slightly when you made quick turns and attacks to kind of indicate how fast you are as a cat.
